Roman Emperor Constantine I redeveloped the Greek city of Byzantium, renamed it Constantinople after himself (it means City of Constantine) and designated it as his imperial seat. He also established a senate there similar to that in Rome. This shifted power from the western part to the eastern part of the Roman Empire only to a very relative extent. There had been co-emperorships with one emperor is charge of the west and one charge in the east (which thus distributing power both in the west and the east) for some time. Moreover, Rome had already ceased to be the capital of the Empire under the emperor Diocletian. He had designated Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey) as the capital of the east and Milan (in northern Italy) as the capital of the west. Constantine shifted his capital to a location only some 60 miles to the wast of Nicomedia. Milan became the capital of the west again under the Valentinian dynasty, which had a co-emperorship with an emperor in charge of the west (whose seat was Milan) and an emperor in charge of the east (whose seat was Constantinople). This arrangement continued under the Theodosian dynasty. The capital of the west was moved from Milan to Ravenna (also in northern Italy) in 402.
